"Exes" is the 15th episode of New Girl's third season.
After Nick has an awkward run-in with his ex-girlfriend Caroline, Jess enlists her ex-boyfriend Berkley to help give him closure. Meanwhile, Schmidt gives keys to his loft to Coach and Winston.
Tropes in this episode:
- Amicable Exes: The topic of a discussion between the roommates. Nick and Coach believe the only way you can be friends with your exes is for sex, Winston is still friends with his exes' families, and Jess believes it can be done because she's got an ex-boyfriend she's still on good terms with.
- Oblivious to Love: Jess is oblivious to the fact that Berkley is still in love with her and that she has accidentally been leading him on.
- Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: Caroline gets increasingly angry and volatile the more Nick refuses to respond to her, resorting in smashing someone's car and banging on the apartment door demanding he talk to her.
- Tuckerization: Jess's ex Berkley shares a name with New Girl writer Berkley Johnson.
